Hi Graham

 

It was Cambrian boats.

 

I had a reply from Robin last week, to say that Angharad is on holiday for the week, she does Customer Services. While I'm waiting for a responce I was very curious whether this is just an isolated case.

 

It does look like two fitting screws on the inside are pressing up against the inner side of the hull. In exactly the same spot on the other side it has already had a gelcoat repair.

 

I'll send you one of the pictures of the cracks, I now have others but waiting for the person who owns the camera to email them.

 

Regards Neil.

Subject: [Rinkerboats] Cracks appeared in hull

We purchased our ex-demo Rinker 232 cuddy 05 model, in late April this
year, We've just noticed since taking her out for the first time.
Whilst polishing, there seems to be two spider web looking cracks,an
inch in diameter, six inches vertically apart, the position is under
the beading of the blue hull, this is inline to the cuddy shelf on the
starboard side. About a foot in front of the centre cleat. It is as if
there are two fixing screws or bolts pressing against from the inside.
Since noticing the cracks, I can now see a repair has already been
done on the port side in exactly the same spot. I should imagine the
gel coat repair was done by the factory. Has anyone had any similar
experiences with this problem before, and how was the matter dealt
with on a five year hull warranty? Any reply would be greatly
appreciated on this matter. Many Thanks Neil Koenig.
